Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: The Great Misinterpretation. That crucial, wrong existential choice by the British circa 1800, at the advent of the industrial revolution

the British people were confronted with a choice: the choice between either feeling grateful for what they had, or resentful for what they didn't. The mass majority chose resentment, and gave their souls to the politics of resentment - that is to Leftism. The same happened, sooner or later (it was later in the USA) everywhere in the developed world. And resentment is close kin to hatred.

Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: The Great Misinterpretation. That crucial, wrong existential choice by the British circa 1800, at the advent of the industrial revolution

The Leftists said that the industrial revolution had created mass poverty by making the poor poorer. But the reality was almost the opposite that the industrial revolution 'created' poverty by making the poor richer, by keeping them and their children alive, rather than dead. In fact, in stark biological terms, the industrial revolution benefited the poor and it harmed the middle class and rich.
